In this episode of Bits and Bytes, we're going to see computer games and computer simulations can be used in education. We'll analyse what the elements of a good game are and we'll see how these are really the same elements that go to make a good lesson. We'll also explore the meanings of the word analogue and digital, and what that mysterious phrase 'booting DOS' means.
